Key Features

With the iconic bullseye design, it looks every bit as good as it sounds at a very affordable price. This medium sized gong is suitable for smaller ensembles and for practice rooms, as well as for concerts where a more crashy sound is needed.

The 32" Chau Gong by Gear4music is handmade. The centre spot and rim of the gong maintains its natural coating, and the rest of the gong is lathed and polished which offers the perfect balance of durability and timbre. A gentle crescendo roll on this gong will create a beautiful and mysterious tone which climaxes in a piercing crash full of sustaining overtones.
The Chau gong (or Tam Tam) has established itself as a very important piece of percussion in a modern symphony orchestra due to its extreme versatility. The nature of a Chau gong is to offer an explosive crescendo with a long delay and sustain and this gong is no exception, and with a slightly varied playing technique you can also achieve short, quickly dampened notes, and generate all sorts of different and experimental sounds! Many modern compositions include the Chau Gong, which is used extensively for effects, particularly in film music.
If you also require a stand with this gong, try the Gear4music Adjustable Gong Stand 32".
